a message from the blogger

I'm still trying to update Touille's blog so that there are no more dead links or links to sites that are not secure. I've had to delete a few posts which made no sense anymore. Touille is always on my mind as I update and read old posts.

Only a few animals were lost at the famed Audubon Zoo in New Orleans. Human volunteers remain at the zoo to care for the animal residents. (We heard it on NPR's Morning Edition this morning, September 7.)

In related news, Humane Society workers are still looking for stranded pets along the gulf coast. Hear more about it in the NPR story on Morning Edition.

NPR also has a Katrina weblog for the latest news about the hurricane's aftermath.
